The problem
Board minutes, strategy papers, and financial forecasts represent the most sensitive decisions an organisation makes. Yet they are routinely shared via email and stored in cloud drives accessible to IT administrators. A single compromised email account can expose an entire year of board deliberations, moving share prices and triggering FCA investigations.

How it plays out
One realistic sequence of events, then the controls that break it. Switch between the two, or play it through.
Step 1 of 2
A listed company’s corporate email is breached. The attacker accesses the Company Secretary’s mailbox containing two years of board packs, including pre-announcement financial results, acquisition strategies and executive compensation details.
The leaked papers are used for insider trading before the breach is even detected.
Step 2 of 2
Board papers stored in physically disconnected, tamper-evident storage.
Director-level access controls, with a full audit trail for every document interaction.
Long-term retention on mirrored RAID 1 drives, which can help support Companies Act record keeping.
A secure distribution and retrieval workflow designed for board meeting cycles.
An illustrative scenario.
The outcome
With board records stored offline in Firevault OSS, there is no remote route to the most sensitive governance documents between sessions. If corporate email or cloud systems are compromised, board papers stay physically disconnected, and their integrity can be shown.
The data sits on physical Firevault hardware, not a shared cloud tenancy.
Offline by default. There is no standing network path in or out of the vault.
Access opens on your instruction, with identity verified and every session logged.
Held in a Firevault Bunker. Firevault provisions the location.
